Behold the power, I keep in my hands

Many battles won, my magic, grand!

Villagers come, they seek, no doubt

Their wishes granted, but not without

A promise, to me, they must vow to make

Lest they feel the pain, make no mistake

Into toads, they will change, of this I exhort

I’ll add them to my own human wizard warts

The ones I use freely, to cast dastardly spells

I’ll grant no more wishes, they shall be quelled

Take heed, before journeying, through my land

You’ll feel cruelty, not pity, under my command

I kneel before you, butterfly
With your beauty, I am awed
I dare not look upon your face
I am not worthy, I am flawed

You are perfect, in your symmetry
Your wings, are a span of glory
I am nothing, compared to you
Just a writer, with another story

Allow me to glow, in your iridescence
Let me float, on the wisp of a breeze
Carry me away to your distant lands
Over mountains, meadows and trees

I will take in all the wonders
That lie below the clouded skies
In the valleys, dales and canyons
Let me see them, through your eyes

You kneel before me, butterfly
Yes, to take me away with you
Letting me fly, upon your wings
It’s really all I ever wanted to do

There are notes, floating, in the breeze

Clinging, steadfast, to the trees

Music written, for the eyes to hear

Words that sing, to those held dear

I can only imagine, what each note holds

Perhaps a wish, where a secret unfolds

Or a trinket, shared, from a woman’s purse

I’m sure each note, is quite diverse

So I’ll hang a wish, upon this tree

And hope it comes true, for thee and me

 

Join Sue, every Thursday, as she delights us with a new photo (or two)!  Thanks again, for another beautiful photo prompt!

Rainbow Wishes ~ #OctoberWriting #poetry

No pot of gold, big or small

Will make you richer, no

It’s the hope you find

Deep inside your heart

That really makes you grow

When an arch of colors finds you

Make a wish, and don’t let go

For even leprechauns believe

The real treasure, is the rainbow
